To aZZ/w/wmz'mag/ concern.'

Be it known that I, STEvnN GYULAI, a citizen of' Canada, residing atHowell, in the Province of Saskatchewan and, Iominion of Canada, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Bracelets, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to bracelets, having more particularreference toa bracelet in which a number of ornamental objects are secured upon aribbon.

The invention has for an object to provide a novel bracelet of this sortin which.

the spacing and number of the objects may be readily varied as desired,to vary the ap? pearance of the bracelet. i

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawings is a fraginentary face view of a braceletConstructed according to my invention.

Fig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a partial longitudinal sectional View taken on the line 3-3 ofFig.v 1.

Fig. 4 isa perspective view of one of the plates.

In constructing my improved bracelet, as here embodied I provide anumber of rectangular plates 10 which may be of any suitable material,and may have any desired ornamental design engraved or otherwise workedor formed thereon.

These plates are formed with a central aperture 11 of rectangularoutline and are stamped or otherwise formed to present recess 12 at eachend of this aperture and of less Width than the latter, these recessesreceiving the ends of a flat bar 13 which partially covers the aperture11, leaving a pair p of side slots as shown in Fig. 1 through which theribbon, indicated at 14, is passed, the ribbon passing under the sideedges of the plate 10, and overthe bar 13 as shown.

To hold the plates against longitudinal movement on the ribbon 14 Ihinge upon each of the former a pair of gripper elements adapted to beardownward on the ribbon where it passes over the bar 13, holding also thelatter in place. hinge ears 16 are formed on the sides of the 'Io thisend, pairs ofl plates 10 and iXedly support hinge pintles 17 to which`are hinged the lugs 18 formed integral ongripper jaws 19 which projecttoward one another, over the bar 13, and engage they ribbon, the freeends of these jaws being urged toward the bar, by means of coiledsprings 20 surrounding the hinge pintles 17 and engaging said jaws in awell known manner.

As will be 'apparent the different orna-y mental objects may be spacedas desired along the ribbon, a smaller or greater number being used asrequired. While I have not shown any clasps on the ribbon it will beunderstood that the same may be provided. Furthermore any individual oneof the ornamental objects may be removed as desired by openingthe jaws19 and removing the bars 13.

AlthoughI have shown and described a` preferred embodiment of myinvention'it is to be understoodV that I do not limit myself totheprecise construction disclosed, and that various changes and`modifications might be made therein without departing from the spiritand scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Havingv thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent of the United ,States is as follows 1.v Abracelet comprising a series of plates.

and grippingdevices on partially closing said apertures, a band passingunder the side edges ofthe plates and over said bars, and grippingdevices on said plates holding said said band clamped to said plate,saidv gripping devices comprising spring pressed jaws hinged to thesides of said plates.

3. A bracelet comprising a series of plates presenting enlarged centralapertures, said plates having recesses at opposite ends of saidapertures of less width than the latter,

bars of less width than the said apertures bars in said recesses andy 5edges of sald plates and b'e'aring on said 1hally ClOSI1g.Same, and .ahandy-assise 1m- 10 der the sides o fsad plates and over said bars, andspring pressed jaws hinged to the sidesof the plates and bearing againstsaid 4handiand loars,`for the vpurpose specified. In testimony whereof lhave aXed my f signature.

STEVEN GYULAI.
